I guess what you do with you whip is you business, dawg.

I almost always back in, probably always will. My other car is a F150 Super Crew 4x4. It's definitely easier to back that thing into a spot than it is to back it out, because of the swing when backing and turning.

I live in one of the worst parts of the South. I can't think about ghetto things in a joking manner. It makes me too angry.

Most of the time, that is what I see being backed in. Everyone else just pulls through a parking-space and accomplishes the same thing.

D'oh! I didn't even see that. Now it's going to bug the crap out of me!

I think one can surmise that I have a firm grip of proper English by viewing my opening post.

Yes but just by backing in does not make a vehicle or a person ghetto.

Baltimore, my friend.

We're #1 (in gun violence, chlamydia, and heroin)

Anyway, as for backing into a spot, who cares how one parks as long as one does it in a timely and considerate fashion?

The z is pretty easy to back in, with its huge mirrors, and some folks have the rear view camera (PM Jeffblue), which makes it even easier.

Backing out of a spot with this car's considerable lack of rear 3/4 visibility is more difficult.

often when you arrive you have a very recent "command" of other vehicles in the area and you are backing into a space between "assessed" stationary vehicles (nobody in them, no doors about to open, not running, no reverse lights) so it's "safer" to control the spot in traffic with your presence (assuming you are not causing a traffic jam with your incompetence) and safely back into your spot.

much safer to nose out when you have to. At my work I'm often parked in between pickups and SUV's and you just can't see getting out, seems marginally better to do it going fwd.

the Z is ez to whip into a spot, but my other driver is a Megacab, you are lucky if you can back in in on one or two stabs in a tight lot. pulling straight in, forget it.

I'm also a boating gearhead and have been blessed with owning a few go fasts in my life. You are considered the master of your domain when you competently back it into a slip, a newb or incompetent when you nose in. Same for cruisers. Maybe theology subconsciously carries over.

I really don't care what the guys on gold 24's are doing as long as it's not threatening harm to anyone

lol, I remember seeing that comment in the Fast Intentions thread and it made NO sense to me lol.

I always thought it took more skill to back into a spot and thats why I often do it, also makes leaving easier and cuts down the risk of missing someone in a blindspot when leaving

I always back into my spot at work. It's safer for me to back in and just pull out straight when I leave then slowly creeping in reverse trying to see out the blind spot.
